Sapper/Svelte is _far_ more complex (especially in terms of overhead/learning curve for the site creator) than a tool a user wants to use to create enhanced static sites has any right to be. Not everything is an app, and frankly I think we build a lot of non-apps as if they are apps because we enjoy the feeling that we've engineered something.
